TF Prime Deluxe Deadend Pictorial Review

StayingInTheBox · 05-31-2012, 03:31 PM

That head sculpt has the slightest bit of Straxus to it IMO. I don't think that was the intent, but that was my initial reaction. I really like how this turned out though.

Looks good and will pick him up for sure since I skipped on Wheeljack. Really digging those 'Rasta colors.

I think it's been said a bunch of times by now, but I just love the insane, G2-ish neon colours on this guy. It's definitely got a so-bad-it's-good thing going on. The rest of my praise is genuine, though; the head is awesome, and the bio makes him sound pretty cool. I'm rather desperate to find more non-Vehicons to swell my Decepticon ranks with, so I'll gladly take him. The fact that he's based on a proven good mould is a nice bonus.

On another note, now that I've gotten a closer look at his face, I can see that he's got a sort of pointy, beak-like "nose" up there...with that in mind, he kinda reminds me of a shrieking owl or something. Rather fitting with the predatory tendencies mentioned in his bio, I'd say.

I think its the Dr. Wu Blade upgrade set for Wheeljack that comes with an Unmasked face, his grenade storage on his waist, and an Autobot symbol sticker for his chest.

As much as I like this (reminds me of the G2 stuff that was on the shelves when I first got into Transformers) his being a non-show character and a repaint/slight remold makes him a pass. Have to cut back with all the big-ticket stuff (United Black Optimus, Artfire, MP-10 US, SDCC Bruticus...) coming out this year.

He's pretty cool, though, and the mold is great.

Wow! This dude is awesome! I love all the awesome paint and colors (which, in this PRID series is generally lacking).

Much like Hot Shot, this is another gorgeous B-list figure.

I'm beginning to like the B-list better than the main cast...
